“…10 Intraoperatively, projection of cyst going under the body of hyoid bone made us to realise that it is thyroglossal cyst. [11][12][13] Shahin et al showed that FNAC has a sensitivity of 62% and a positive predictive value of 69%. So, it can be helpful in establishing the diagnosis of a thyroglossal cyst in the correct clinical scenario.…”

BACKGROUNDThyroglossal cysts are the most common cause of congenital cyst formation in the neck that may present at any age. Classically, it presents as an anterior midline neck swelling that moves with deglutition and protrusion of the tongue. Occasionally, thyroglossal cyst present clinically in atypical manner, which may pose a diagnostic challenge. MATERIALS AND METHODSPatients came to outpatient department with anterior neck swellings of the neck during the period from June 2014 till May 2015 were included in this study. Swellings of the thyroid gland are excluded. RESULTSA total of 10 patients were included in the study. All patients were found to be adults in our study out of them 8 were males (80%) and 2 were females (20%). The site of the cyst was infrahyoid in 9 cases and 1 case showed suprahyoid (Figure 6). Clinically, 8 cases (80%) showed classical midline cystic presentation and in two cases (20%) the cysts were presented in lateral neck up to the level of sternocleidomastoid muscle and movement with deglutition and protrusion of tongue was not appreciated. In these two cases, fine needle aspiration and ultrasound were inconclusive. In all patients, Sistrunk's operation was performed. Histopathological report in these two cases reported as thyroglossal cyst.

“…However true lateral thyroglossal cysts are rare. Only two previous descriptions have been found in the literature (Thompson and Smith, 1967;Sonnino e/a/., 1989). Each described a laterally occurring cyst in a child: in addition Sonnino et al (1989) described two children with thyroglossal cysts within the substance of the thyroid gland.…”
